The other change led to a small improvement, but also a query.

I installed the latest stable  boost-1.42.0-r2  +  boost-build-1.42.0 ,
which go in new slots; I also updated to  icu-4.6  +  numpy-1.5.1 
(the latter is probably irrelevant here, but Icu is needed for OO).
Using more haste than sense after 'emerge -cpv =boost-1.41.0-r3'
showed nothing depended on that version,
I unmerged it & the corresponding  boost-build-1.41.0 ,
then trying to remerge  openoffice-3.2.1-r1 , I hit a configure error.
After I restored the apparently unneeded versions of Boost(-build),
Openoffice compiled without any further complaint.

Can anyone explain why the latest stable Openoffice can't use
the latest stable slotted Boost(-build), which is used only for OO ?
Perhaps the devs have tripped up slightly in the sequence of updates.

After the updates described, the OO splash screen now appears
after  c 2 sec , where before it took  c 5 sec  to show up,
so there's a very nice improvement in performance anyway.

Did you mean 'emerge -cpv ...' or 'emerge -Cpv...' ?

Probably -c, which is the one that checks for reverse dependencies.

,----[ man emerge ]
| Depclean serves as a dependency aware version of --unmerge. When

`----

Either way, shouldn't 'emerge openoffice' reinstall it?

Please both of you, read my msg more carefully, then comment (smile).
